The NAHL’s Maryland Black Bears have announced that defenseman Sebastien Brockman has committed to play NCAA Division III hockey for Aurora.

The El Segundo native is a third-year skater of the Black Bears. This past year, the alternate captain hit the ice for 58 games and found the back of the net four times while producing eight assists. The ‘04 laced up for 48 games during the 2023-24 season and featured three goals and six assists. Brockman made his debut in April 2023 on a two-game call-up with Maryland.

Brockman will be joining his older brother, Jacob Brockman, at Aurora. This will be the first time the two brothers have skated with each other in their hockey-playing career. Jacob Brockman played with the Black Bears during the 2021-22 season before heading to Aurora in the fall of 2022. 

Head coach of the Black Bears, Clint Mylymok, went into detail on the impact Brockman has had on the Maryland organization.

“Sebastien has been a tremendous teammate, leader, and big brother to the younger players during his tenure in Maryland,” Mylymok said. “He is an outstanding human being, and I am going to miss his sense of humor and his positive attitude around the arena. I am excited he gets the opportunity to play college hockey with his brother Jacob, a former Maryland Black Bear. I look forward to watching both of them continue their academic and athletic development.”

Back home, Brockman played for the Los Angeles Jr. Kings.
